History
A reserve engineer company called up for Exercise Red Mist, Pionier Kompanie 746 spent the first weeks of October preparing demolitions on the bridges behind the border. When Operation Statant began, its sappers went forward instead, clearing obstacles and bridging the waterways on the road to the Elbe.
